What the publisher says

From the Discord repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

discord-mcp

An MCP server over the real Discord REST API -- so a Claude agent calls listchannels(guildid="...") instead of hand-rolling an authenticated httpx request. Built to the github-mcp/bus-mcp standard in this portfolio (own pyproject, fastmcp server, typed errors, real test suite, honest README) -- fifth flagship, first over Discord.

5 read-only tools, always on + 7 write tools, gated OFF by default behind DISCORDMCPENABLE_WRITE=1 -- see "Write tools" below.

Quickstart (60 seconds)

python -m venv .venv
.venv/Scripts/python.exe -m pip install -e ".[test]"

Add to your Claude Desktop/Code MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "discord-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/discord-mcp/run_server.py"],
      "env": { "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN": "your-bot-token-here" }
    }
  }
}

Without DISCORDBOTTOKEN set, every tool call still returns a clean structured error (Discord's own 401) instead of crashing -- see "Typed errors" below. Write tools also need DISCORDMCPENABLEWRITE=1 in the same env block, or they refuse locally with policyrefusal -- see "Write tools" below.

What this is / is not

This is a reference portfolio implementation demonstrating an MCP server over a real external SaaS API (Discord) -- it is NOT an official Discord MCP server, and it is not affiliated with Discord Inc. It started from an earlier, separate sibling project's HttpDiscordClient, a stdlib-urllib Discord transport built and verified against a real live guild for that project's own server-provisioning tooling. This repo hand-adapts that client's request-building, header construction (including its deliberately descriptive User-Agent -- see below), and error handling onto httpx (matching this fleet's other MCP servers) as its own standalone client with no dependency on that sibling project. discord-mcp does not import from or depend on that other package at all.

Started as 5 read-only tools with no write capability at all; now ships a 7-tool write group, off by default, mirroring the MCPENABLE_WRITE-style gate already shipped in github-mcp/bus-mcp/desktop-mcp in this same portfolio -- see "Write tools" below.
